Embassy of Germany, Mexico City, German diplomatic mission
The Embassy of Germany in Mexico City is the main diplomatic and administrative office representing Germany in the country, located in the upscale Polanco neighborhood close to shops and institutions. The building provides consular services including visa applications and passport assistance, with offices open Monday through Friday by appointment.
Germany and Mexico established early contacts in the 19th century when naturalist Alexander von Humboldt explored and studied the country. After the Second World War, diplomatic relations were paused and only resumed in the early 1950s, creating the foundation for today's partnership.
The embassy serves as a gathering place for the German and Mexican communities, hosting cultural events and discussions that bring German traditions closer to local visitors. These gatherings help strengthen the bonds between the two nations in everyday ways.
Visitors should schedule an appointment before arriving, as the consular section operates by appointment to keep procedures smooth and efficient. Hours are generally Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 11:30 for scheduled visits, and the location in accessible Polanco makes it easy to reach.
Artist Mathias Goeritz, a German, came to Mexico and chose to stay because he loved the country's beauty. His artistic works continue to shape Mexican art today, showing how deep personal connections have formed between the two nations.
